Community Visitor
Community Visitors perform an important role of visiting accommodation facilities and monitoring and reporting on the services provided. They ensure that the human rights of individuals are being upheld. They make sure that individuals are being treated with dignity and respect and that they are not subject to abuse, neglect or exploitation. Community Visitors speak to staff and residents to identify issues of concern. Community Visitors visit in pairs, and visit accommodation facilities in their region. Visiting generally takes 10-15 hours per month. This is a prominent volunteer role that is a Victorian Governor-In-Council appointment. Training and support is provided.
